Cool effect, but there is some serious gradient banding in the sky of the second picture. Are you editing in 16-bit or 8-bit?

the second has more of the IR effect going on. The problem I see with most of these IR filters is that the white glow that green becomes is just not there, like it is when shooting IR film.

The first image, while very nice, just looks like a high contrast scenic and not IR.

I really like the first one, the composition is just great, the second is ok but as
PDBreske sayed, the gradiente bunding in the sky. But I liked the idea.

That glowing green foliage that Lara mentioned is due to the fact that true IR photography reacts to the wavelength of IR light reflected by the foliage, whereas this type of IR Photoshop filter mimics the IR effect by bumping up the levels of the green parts of the image.

When the green is hidden by shooting the shadows underneath the leaves as in this case, there are no green pixels to boost, so you don't get that glowing effect from the foliage. In true IR photos, the foliage glows just because it's foliage, not because it's green.
